Also check the following: •Does your computer have a compatible video board? The pro- jector isn’t CGA or EGA compatible. •Is your computer’s video port activated? This is especially true for laptop computers. See “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 35. Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen •You might need to manually adjust the tracking to reduce or enlarge the projected image. Refer to Tracking on page 18. •Adjust the resolution of your video card if it’s greater than 1280x1024 pixels. 30 Problem: Image is out of focus •Turn the projection lens to focus the image. •Make sure the projection screen is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the projector. •Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning. Problem: Image and menus are reversed left to right •Rear projection mode is probably turned on. Turn “Rear” off in the Custom Setup menu. The image should immediately return to forward projection. See “Image Mode” on page 21. Problem: the projector displays vertical lines, “bleeding” or spots •Adjust the brightness. Refer to “Bright” on page 15 for more information. •Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning. Problem: no sound •Adjust volume. •Verify audio/input connections. •Adjust audio source. Problem: Image is “noisy” or streaked •Adjust the synchronization and tracking manually to find an optimal setting. See Sync and Tracking on page 18. •The problem could be with your computer’s video card. If possible, connect a different computer. Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video player’s colors •Adjust the brightness, tint and/or contrast from the menus. Just as there are differences in the displays of different monitors, there are often differences between the computer image and the projected image. Refer to “Bright” on page 15, or Tint or Contrast on page 18. 31 M a i n t e n a n c e & T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer •The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for a long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 26. Problem: Lamp shuts off •A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Turn the projector off, wait at least 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

When video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display. To turn on video mirroring for the first time: 1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2. 2 Set the number of colors you want. 3 Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon. 4 Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.” Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again. When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white. If this happens, perform the following steps: 1 Turn off video mirroring. 2 Open the Monitors control panel. 3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as the primary monitor. 4 Restart the PowerBook. Using SimulScan Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or projector differently than previous ones. When using SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook To select SimulScan: 1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and Sound. 2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click OK. 3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears. Click OK to confirm the change. 40 Projected Image Size Use the chart and tables to help you determine projected image sizes.
